Data Governance Committee

The Data Governance Committee (DGC) was formed in September 2014 and is responsible for reviewing SPARCS identifiable data requests. It supersedes the Data Protection Review Board.

The DGC is responsible for ensuring the usability, security, and availability of data for all identifiable data requests seeking to use SPARCS data. The Committee follows applicable federal and state laws when determining whether SPARCS data containing identifiable data elements may be shared. The DGC supports transparency while continuing to assure the confidentiality and security of the patient data it is charged with protecting.
